covered in connection with the Chinese murder
and suicide which occurred here at early hour
yesterday morning which throws any light upon
the subject. survey.rof the premises showed
nothing disturbed. All doors and windows were
secure. There signs of a struggle hav-
ing taken place. The body of Chung Lung was
found in a, back room of the laundry, lying on
the floor, just it had fallen out of bed. He
had been killed with Ratchet such plaster
use, new. bright and quite sharp. One blow
with the edge of the Ratchet had struck just
above and behind the left ear. penetrating to the
brain. Another blow had cut through the back
of the neck, between the third and fourth cervi-
cal vertebrR, severing the spinal cord; another.
the left side OF the neck. had cut the carotid
artery, and still another, across the throat had
entirely severed the wind pipe. Another blow,
behind the angle of the left jaw, had almost sep
arated the face from the head. He was entirely
dead when found by the policeman, though the
blows had beeS given hardly five minutes before.
Bow Hong was lying on his cot in a front
room, with blood flowing from wound in the
front OF his neck just at the upper end of the
breast-bone. This stab was made by himself,
and had penetrated downward, cutting the arch
of the aorta The work was done while the po-
liceman was breaking open the door. and caused
instant death The instrument used was
sharp, two-edged dagger. with blade eight inches
long and one inch wide. He had also stabbed
himself through the middle of the sternum and
in the abdomen, both wounds penetrating to the
cavity beneath.
No motive can be surmised for the deed Both
men were industrious and were doing a good
business. They were not addicted to lntemper
ance of any kind is it known they used
opium Nothing about their quarters indicated
anything of the kind Bow had been in poor
health for several weeks. and his brother had
left San Francisco, Monday night, to take
his place here, after which he was to be sent
that place for treatment at the Chinese hospital.
He had developed we'll arked symptoms of in
sanity, and the natural suppositon is that I'M
der an insane deluson he killed Chung and
then took his life, without having any OBJ
ject or purpose in view. A relative of Bows,
from Peru, arrived this morning, and has taken
charge of the bodies He has purchased lot
in the cemetery here, where they will be buried
for the present. The coroner has. also. deliv-
cred to him the laundry. and the finished work
